Abstract

The invention provides a folding capacitive load electrode structure, an electro-optical modulator and a preparation method of the electro-optical modulator. The electrode structure comprises a main signal electrode, a first main ground electrode, a second main ground electrode and a plurality of air bridges. The first main ground electrode, the main signal electrode and the second main ground electrode form a G-S-G coplanar waveguide transmission line. The plurality of air bridges are erected at the bending part of the main signal electrode to connect the first main ground electrode with the second main ground electrode. The electro-optical modulator comprises an electrode structure and a lithium niobate waveguide structure, and the waveguide structure is arranged on the folding capacitive load electrode structure. The lithium niobate waveguide structure comprises a first waveguide and a second waveguide. Loading T-shaped electrodes are arranged on the two sides of the waveguides. A folding capacitive load electro-optical modulator is adopted, a parasitic coupling slot line mode can be restrained to the maximum extent, the electro-optical modulator can efficiently work in a push-pull mode, and therefore electric signal transmission loss and return loss are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of optical communication technology and integrated optical modulation technology, and more specifically, to a folded capacitive load electrode structure, an electro-optic modulator and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The high-speed, low-power electro-optic modulator is the core device for realizing high-speed information conversion in optical interconnection. Among them, lithium niobate is the most popular material for making electro-optic modulators. The emergence of the thin-film lithium niobate platform has pushed the performance and integration scale of lithium niobate modulators to a new level. By dry etching the lithium niobate thin film layer, an optical waveguide with low loss and high refractive index contrast can be obtained. Thanks to this lithium niobate waveguide with strong optical confinement, the modulation efficiency is greatly improved to 2V / cm. Such as figure 1 As sh...
